Omschrijving

On November 20th Tracy Chapman released her long awaited Greatest Hits album.

18 songs, all remastered, chosen by Tracy Chapman herself, compiling 25 years of music: the tracks are taken from her 8 studio albums (from 1988 to 2008) to her live interpretation of “Stand By Me” at the David Letterman show in April 2015.

It’s been 27 years since Tracy Chapman released her “Debut Album” and it seems it was just yesterday. She’ll be celebrating a nearly three-decade career with a greatest-hits compilation through Elektra / Rhino Records.

The album charts the history of Tracy Chapman’s most popular songs, all released as a single (but “Save Us All”) and the vibrant interpretation of “Stand By Me” she gave at the David Letterman show in April 2015. She received for it tremendous reviews from the press and her fans.

PRESS REVIEWS
• “Greatest Hits is a worthy endeavor. It’s nice to revisit these songs in a bit of a different context, and if it brings more people to explore Tracy Chapman’s excellent body of work, then it’s a success”- Pop Matters
• “What’s here is a generous, 18 song, 78 minute collection of Chapman’s breezy, bluesy folk pop culled from her eight albums spanning 1988 through 2008. With its non-chronological sequencing, the law of diminishing returns that her albums exhibited isn’t a factor. That provides some enjoyable discoveries in the newly re-mastered deeper tracks that accompany the no-brainer choices of “Fast Car,” “Talkin’ Bout a Revolution” and “Give Me One Reason.” Songs such as the bluesy “You’re the One” from 2002’s Let it Rain, “Change” tucked away on 2005’s Where You Live, the socio-political “Bang Bang Bang” from Matters of the Heart, and the religiously based “Save Us All,” a gem grabbed off 2008’s Our Bright Future, deserve a second pass at the commercial and popular gold ring they didn’t snag the first time.”  – American Songwriter
